"The collection is inherently the missing pieces of my dream denim wardrobe, which, as ever, is predominantly inspired by a late Sixties, early Seventies aesthetic," says Chung.

Launching in January 2015, the good news for Britons is that Adriano Goldschmied uses Borderfree to ship stock internationally, which means all import fees and taxes are clearly calculated at checkout, so there's no nasty surprises when one's parcel arrives. Additonally, Selfridges, Net-A-Porter.com and Shopbop.com are said to have expressed interest in stocking the line.

New York-based Chung, who previously collaborated with American retailer Madewell in 2011, visited the Adriano Goldschmied factory in California, and spent a day scouring thrift shops in the southern area of the county as part of her research.

"I found the trip incredibly inspiring and an opportunity to learn about denim and make things I had been dreaming about finding," said Chung, who will model her wares in the accompanying print campaign.

Her moodboard references the likes of Jane Birkin and the Sex Pistols, and design sketches hint at "perfect perfect HotPants" - a pair of shorts that ensure the wearer won't flash their rear; "NYC fashion jean," and "Vivienne punk jean".

The collection is estimated to retail between $70 (£42) and $300 (£177).
